2 Introduction Outline Case-study 1: highway P133 and Ziemelu street intersection simulation and capacity estimation Case-study 2: pedestrian and transport flows analysis for pedestrian street creation in Riga Case-study 3: freight traffic flow research and rerouting from Riga city center Conclusions 2

3 Requirements to the modern transport system Transport key element of modern economics 3 Ecological requirements Safety Effectiveness Commission of European Communities, "White paper- European transport policy," Luxembourg, , 2011.

4 Sustainable development Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs Transport sustainable development tools: use of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) use of P&R (Park and Ride) optimization of existing transport infrastructure development of intermodality implementation of new transport infrastructure elements base on strict analysis of development consequences use of sound tax policy etc. 4

5 Model-based decision-making 5 E. Yurshevich, Methodology of decision-making support based on urban transportation system microscopic models repositories, doctoral thesis, Riga, TTI, 2013

6 Hierarchy of TS modelling approaches Microscopic models Each vehicle is moved through the network of transportation facilities on a split second by split second basis according to the physical characteristics of the vehicle (length, maximum acceleration rate, etc.) Mesoscopic models models simulate individual vehicles, but describe their activities and interactions based on the aggregate (macroscopic) relationships Macroscopic models simulate traffic flow, taking into consideration cumulative traffic stream characteristics (speed, flow, and density) and their relationships to each other 6

8 Highway P133 and Ziemelu street intersection simulation and capacity estimation Goal: to test different scenarios on P133 and Ziemelu street intersection capacity improvement 8 Tasks: to develop microsocpic model of the intersection; to test different development scenarios to estimate level of services (LOS) for crossroads according to HCM standard to produce 3D animation of the model
